<p>Hi, I'm new, and I basically joined this site because I made a mistake on the CommonApp. When I chose not to waive my right to access, I didn't do it because I have anything to hide/care too much what my teachers think of me. I did it because I thought maybe one day I'd be curious and would want to see what they thought of me. Now, I realize I shouldn't have done that and I'm worried it will affect my chances. Is there anything I can do to undo this? I'd delete my Common App if I have to.</p>
<p>Can you go back and change it?</p>
<p>Also, it won’t hurt you, I don’t think. Some people might think that it shows you have something to hide, but I’m sure many of the people admitted to the colleges you apply to accept people who don’t waive that right.</p>
<p>No, I can’t change it. I guess it’s not a huge deal, but I want the colleges I’m applying to not to think that what my teachers say about me is less than genuine because they knew that I might one day read what they wrote.</p>
<p>I checked the box and then after my acceptances, my teachers showed me their recs. Did you think of anything like that happening?</p>
<p>It is not a big deal. Don’t worry about this one.</p>
